PE7394-10

Overview

The PE7394-10 is a 10 dB fixed attenuator manufactured by Pasternack. It features N male to N female connectors and operates from DC to 4 GHz. The device is rated for 50 watts of power handling. It utilizes an aluminum heatsink with a black anodized body for thermal management.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 10 dB signal attenuation for RF applications
• Designed with N-type male and female connectors for inline integration
• Constructed with an aluminum heatsink and black anodized finish

Applications

• RF and microwave signal level reduction
• Test and measurement equipment
• Communication systems requiring fixed attenuation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE7394-10 to confirm current manufacturing status and compliance details. Ensure connector gender and frequency range requirements align with system specifications before procurement. Check for any recent product change notices that may affect physical dimensions or material composition.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 10 dB attenuation is required within a 50-ohm system up to 4 GHz. Consider the 50-watt power rating for high-power applications. The N-type interface ensures compatibility with standard coaxial infrastructure. Verify environmental conditions against the aluminum construction capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of fixed attenuators designed for RF and microwave frequencies. It serves as a passive component to reduce signal amplitude without distortion. The N-type connector series offers robust mechanical connection and wide bandwidth capability for various industrial and commercial uses.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 10 dB N-type fixed attenuators from Pasternack, such as the PE7394-2 if lower attenuation is acceptable. Verify that alternative models maintain the same 50-watt power rating and 4 GHz frequency limit to ensure functional equivalence in existing circuits.
